New details of Lewis Hamilton-produced F1 film emerge: "Apex will be 11th team"
The seven-time world champion is playing a crucial role in the development of a new F1 movie directed by Josephꦛ Kosinski - the man behind Top Gun: Maverick which featured Tom Cruise.
The identity of th꧅e new team that will feature in it has been🍎 revealed - Apex Racing.
Last month it was announced that Pitt would drive a Mercedes-designed F2-level car at the British Grand Prix lat🙈er this yea🌊r.
Real life footage from the 10 F1 teams will also 🦩appear in the film.
“We have a few more details,” Kravitz said. “Lewis was talking about how great it was to watch Brad in action - how he’s going to approach the character. Brad Pitt is playing a retired racing driver who comes out of retirement to help a young driver - Damson Idris - to championship su♛ccess or whatever it is. That is the plo🌊t.
“The team is going to be called Apex Racing and it’s going to be in amongst all of the other teams. So all of the other teams - Mercedes, F🧸errari and Red Bull will be playing themselves in the movie and it will be intercut with proper racing footage.
“The 11th team - Apex Racing - piloted by, I think, Damson Idris and Brad Pitt, is going to be amongst it all. Good luck Joseph Kosin🍨ski, the director, to sort out all of 🌞that continuity.
“I believe all of the other teams have said yes, ꦿabsolutely happy for our names and intellectual prop💜erty to be in the movie.
The technical director of Apex Raci💟ng, the team, is played by Kerry Condon - the Irish actress. Brilliantly, Oscar-nominated. She is playing James Allison which I like and Lewis was talking about this even though he wouldn’t confirm those actors I was talking about.
“He’s so proud and pleased we’ve got a diverse cas꧑t in there, in the film and he’s so excited about it.”
